My officials have written to each of the 55 fee-charging schools requesting details of tuition fees charged for the academic year 2011/12. The schools were requested to provide this information to my Department by Friday last, 27th January.
A number of schools have not responded to date. My officials have again written to those schools yet to supply the information, asking for a prompt reply.
Once the information is received in respect of each school, including the school referred to by the Deputy, my officials will commence the work of analysing the position. My Department has undertaken to share the results of the analysis with and to provide each school with an opportunity to present any pertinent information or make any observations pertaining to their own particular situation.
